A Swiss organic chemist born in Moscow. He studied under A. Werner at the University of Zurich, and became a lecture assistant in 1912. In 1913, he studied organic arsenic compounds under P. Ehrlich at the Institute of Chemotherapy, and discovered silver salvarsan salt. In 1919, he succeeded Werner as professor of chemistry at the University of Zurich, and studied sugars and polysaccharides, starch, cellulose, lichenan, tannins, lecithin, and amino acids. In 1926, he switched to researching plant pigments, and worked on the structure of carotenoids. He demonstrated that carotene is a precursor of vitamin A, and in 1931 determined the structure of vitamin A. He also studied various vitamins, and in 1935 synthesized riboflavin and vitamin A at the same time as RJ Kuhn from the UK. His organic chemistry textbook published in 1928 was translated into many languages ​​and became a standard. For these studies, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1937 together with SWN Haworth of Britain.
